lyrics

Astronauts jump from the edge of the moon
and perfectly land on their feet
smile for the cameras we watch them on television
the world is spinning at dizzying speeds
around a big ball of fire
empires will rise and empires will crumble
and leave it a little more scarred

don't trust gravity
you can believed anything that you want
i'm not the person you thought i could be
you thought i could be

blue cars and radios
empty parking lots
faded tattoos of names i can barely recall
somewhere beneath your exterior
is someone i feel i should know
i can't make heads or tails of either of us

don't trust gravity
you can believe anything that you want
i'm not the person you thought i could be
you thought i could be

Robots will only do what they're told
so tell them to do something good
if i could change things for the better
you know that i would
if i could change things for the better
you know that i would

don't trust gravity
you can believe anything that you want
i'm not the person you thought i could be
you thought i could be
you thought i could be
